RE: ADSactly Literature: Benchmark Theater - A Streetcar Named Desire

in #theater5 years ago

"A tram called desire" has always seemed to me one of the phrases with the best titles, because of its metaphorical richness and, consequently, significant. The journey as a displacement in the field of corporal and affective subjectivity, can be one of many interpretations.
In addition to reading it, I had the opportunity to see the work represented once in a theater festival, as well as the film version of Elia Kazan. I have it as a key piece of contemporary theater, which knows how to stage the terrible shadows that constitute us as human beings: This makes it an heiress and, at the same time, a renewal of the best ancient Greek drama. The characters and their conflicts are sharply posed, from the somewhat skeptical vision of Tennessee Williams, so typical of mid-century writers.
Thanks for your good post, @honeydue. Greetings.
